The storyline of the “Wine on Harvest Moon” event

On Saturday, October 15, took place the 15th annual Deering Estate Foundation’s “Wine on Harvest Moon,” a celebration of the wine, food, art and culture of South Africa.

The spirit of South Africa was brought to South Dade by the beating of drums, wild animals roaring, wine glasses clinking, cheers of “Akubekhule!” and smells of braai on the barbeque.

The transformation of the Deering Estate to the excitement and beauty of South Africa was absolutely incredible. Everywhere you turned was another vignette, or a piece of South African history, or even a Safari guide leading the way to a different scene filled with classical music or African drumming. It was remarkable, said event chairman Howard Tendrich.

South African Lamb Potjie, Grilled Braai Beef Skewers, Red Wine Braised Rib Cup, South African Barbeque Chicken & Slaw, Ceviche, and Lobster Mac & Cheese, among other delicious dishes were part of the menu and filled the plates of hundreds of party-goers who joined the event.

The cultural arts of South Africa were front and center through “Eleven Voices,” the concurrent art exhibit that references the 11 official languages of South Africa. Co-curators Kim Yantis, of the Deering Estate, and Rosie Gordon-Wallace, founder and curator of Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator, selected works that show thematic inspirations from South African art and culture. The goal of the exhibit, on view through November 26, is to spark a discussion about cultural struggle, memory and identity among contemporary artists. Land Rover South Dade was the evening’s Visual Arts Sponsor and Coconut Grove Bank was the Cultural Arts Sponsor.

Event Details

Florida Master Naturalist Program students will increase their knowledge of Florida’s natural systems, of the plants and animals that depend upon those systems, and of the role of humankind in shaping our past, of determining our future, and as stewards of the land. The objective of the Florida Master Naturalist Program is to prepare persons to share their knowledge with others, to act in a positive manner, to help others feel a greater connection to the land and to help others to develop their own personal land ethic. Information on the ecology of Florida’s systems is an integral part of the program, but we do not attempt to create experts in botany, herpetology, or any other discipline. Rather, we hope to initiate what is for many a life-long process of learning, of observation, and of sharing with others.

Through classroom, field trip, and practical experience, this Module provides instruction on the general ecology, habitats, vegetation types, wildlife, and conservation issues of Freshwater Systems in Florida – Marshes, Swamps, and Permanent Wetlands (Lakes, Rivers, Springs, and Streams). The program also addresses society’s role in wetlands, develops naturalist interpretation skills, and discusses environmental ethics.

The total training consists of 40 contact hours, the scheduling of which will vary among different Instructors. The only requirements of students are enthusiasm, attendance, and completion of group final projects. There is no comprehensive examination required. Classroom learning includes four instructional videos and 12 presentations.

Cost: $275
